There has been a grave energy crisis in developing countries especially during summer season primarily due to cooling energy consumption in buildings. Increasing consumption of energy has led to environmental pollution and thus global warming and ozone layer depletion. Hence reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, caused by fossil fuels to power the cooling requirement of the buildings has stimulated the interest towards adoption of passive cooling techniques for buildings. Natural and passive systems using non-mechanical methods to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature are a key factor in mitigating the impact of buildings on the environment. This paper focuses on ways to reduce cooling energy consumption because it is the highest usage in any building. Also, the paper shows a comparison between traditional and bioclimatic techniques by explaining the methods with applications that prove their benefits. The reason behind this comparison is to confirm that traditional methods use less energy, however, their development is needed to achieve better thermal comfort.
